Thanks for reporting this.

Confirmed: this was a Windows installer/runtime packaging issue. The hosted install.ps1 has already been updated so new installs can fetch/install sqlite3.dll correctly.

The CI/release asset validation update will be included in v2.7.0, which is the next version currently in development. Starting from that release, the Windows SDK packaging workflow will also verify that bin\sqlite3.dll is included in the SDK archive.

Temporary workaround for existing v2.6.3 installs:

1. Download the official SQLite Windows x64 DLL package.
2. Extract sqlite3.dll.
3. Copy it to:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Vix\bin\

Then open a new terminal and run:

vix --version

Thanks again for catching this.
